Congratulations on this motion picture . The thing that I bed about this was I never intend that I would care a Sasquatch , but you managed to do that . So , what was it about this film that made you need to be a part of it ?
Zach Galifianakis : Well I had see Laika ’s other movies and I think because it was lay off motion , and the richness and how those movies were so coarse-textured and they visually , I opine this film is really kind of breathtaking , and that ’s , I intend , maybe their past motion picture is why I wanted to do it . And also , I bang the character seemed like something I could do . Sometimes you get thing , and I do n’t know , I mean I ’m pretty circumscribed as a …
I would n’t say that . I call back you ’re fantastic .
Zach Galifianakis : Well , anyway …
This is your good role in my personal legal opinion . A Sasquatch , what ?
Zach Galifianakis : There is a lot of Oscar bombination . Yeah , I just think I could do it . And you encounter with the director and if they ’re nice enough you just start working .
Yeah . Now , one thing that I incur interesting about the whole process is that I assume that when you ’re immortalise your voice for this , you are kind of isolated in a booth . So , does that make it more difficult than working on something like a live activity picture ? Because you do n’t have anyone to play off of .
Zach Galifianakis : Deepa , Deepa , good ?
Yes . You get my name right .
Zach Galifianakis : Such a well name .
A hundred brownie stage for you .
Zach Galifianakis : It ’s a great name . What ’s the last name ?
Prashad .
Zach Galifianakis : Prashad .
Do you also think my last name is cracking ?
Zach Galifianakis : Uh , I do n’t like it .
[ LAUGHS ] I ’ll change my last name .
Zach Galifianakis : No , I wish it . But Deepa is a groovy name . But what was your question ? Oh , it ’s unlike . It ’s not that it ’s more difficult , it ’s just different . So , you have to employ , because the physical space is different . When you mold on other things , there ’s an actor there , and an actress here , and there ’s a lounge to sit on . So , in the animated stuff , you ’re see it in your oral sex . They ’ll show you some artwork here and there , but it ’s different because you have to use your imagination more .
Right . And one thing that I ’m rum to know , whenever an actor pull up stakes the movie , I feel like part of that type leaves with them . So , after you wrapped up this entire process , do you feel like Mr. Link is now part of you ? Like are you eight feet tall now ? Do you weigh 630 Sudanese pound ? Are you extremely haired ?
Zach Galifianakis : Uh , one of those three . If I could get a fiddling taller because I took a little of that character with me , that would be such a fillip .
Your life would be made .
Zach Galifianakis : Yeah , I ’m still five two .
Can I give you a recommendation ? lift and some big Vanessa Bell bottom pants . No one will ever know .
Zach Galifianakis : Or Ace Frehley boots .
What is that ?
Zach Galifianakis : See , I did n’t suppose you would know that .
I ’m 23 .
Zach Galifianakis : You should know Ace Frehley is . These onetime guys do .
I ’ll Google it when I get home today . Thanks so much for your time .
Zach Galifianakis : Thank you so much .
